<br><br>
<p>
<font color="#00ff00">When you start a game, there is a paddle at the
bottom. You launch a ball up in the air to hit bricks. Every hit gets
10 points. You keep the ball from falling past you by bouncing it back
up to clear all the bricks. Some bricks cause power-ups to fall.
There are 10 kinds of power up. They are Slow, 1-Up, Catch, Laser, Gun,
Flip, Long, Multi-ball, Bomb, Through-wall.
<br><br>If you get a power up, you will get 50 points and this power up will clear any other power ups you are using at the time.

<br><br>As the game goes on, the ball goes faster and faster unless you get a Slow power up. Ball speed has a limitation. 

<br><br>Eventually you miss, or clear the stage. You have 3 lives unless, you get the 1-Up power up. 

<br><br>Catch allows you to catch the ball and adjust its direction before releasing it.

<br><br>The Laser will let you shoot two small beams up. Each one does
 half damage to a brick, and gives you 5 points (versus the 10 points
you get for a full break). Lasers have unlimited ammo.
<br><br>Gun gives you three shots, but completely destroys any brick
it hits, including the infamous unbreakable bricks. You get 50 points
for any brick you hit with the Gun.
<br><br>Flip is the one bad power up.It gives you the standard 50
points for catching it, but reverses your paddle directions. That can
be bad if you can't keep the directions straight.
<br><br>Long makes your paddle approximately twice as long.

<br><br>Multi turns one ball into four.

<br><br>After ball become a Bomb, When it hits a brick, it will explode, breaking neighboring bricks.

<br><br>Through-wall allows paddle to go into one side of the wall and appear on the other side after paddle wholly in.

<br><br>After ball, including Multi-ball, hits paddle more than 50
times, brick matrix begins to fall down one brick height every 20
seconds. If distance between the bottom row of brick matrix and paddle
equals 10 brick's height, brick matrix will stop falling.
<br><br>There is a scoreboard at the bottom of the screen, which display the score you get, the lives you have and the game level.
<br><br>Left/Right button is used for controlling paddle direction and Fire button is used for shotting ball, laser or rocket.
